Those of you interested in the newly-restored RAH organ might be

interested
in this:

s_organ.pdf

(I hope that doesn't wrap -otherwise cut & paste).

There's notice of one or two *excellent* forthcoming pieces on page 2.


It certainly looks like an impressive piece of kit. In our neck of the
woods, our local Town Hall Organ has been restored and you might be
interested in this link

for the very interesting background - especially its use at Wembley for

the
1924 Exhibition - before being shipped to NZ.



That's an impressive-looking bit of kit and what a history!!

Have you actually heard it yourself?
